Boule de Canton with Star

Outstanding work, Jean-Louis. I thought of you from the moment that I saw this excellent and very skill challenging five nested spheres Chinese Ball.

Thank you, Bill. I wanted to add the How to and the Important Links. I don't know if I added them in the right place.
I sent a message to Mike Summeret about doing something on Paul Texier. He is for me the Francois Barreau of the 21st century. He surpasses his mentor.
Mike thought about "a woodturner without border". We should do something about this outstanding master woodturner, he does not have even an internet connection.

I put the info in the caption ...

The caption area is a good place for the YouTube video.

The yellow-colored text and yellow wood shavings background don't work very well. Even if I pause the video I can't read the text.

The tools used in the video appear to be much more substantial than the tools sold by Robert Sorby. I've had the Sorby tools for several years, but I still haven't used them.

This morning I noticed on the Forums page the section "Tutorials and Tips" and I put them there too. Is it OK?

Yes.

I thought you had the tools from Davis Springett. Jean Claude Charpignon used them and he found them very cumbersome to use. I put a PDF from Jean Claude at the Forums. You can check it.

Bill, this is the text that you could not see clearly: Jean Claude showed me how he does an opening with a star on a 65 mm sphere.

Yes, I bought a package deal at Craft Supplies. I was mistaken in my earlier post, the tools are made by Crown, not Sorby. It included the Springett tools and the book Woodturning Wizardry by Springett. Craft Supplies no longer sells the tools, but Packard and Amazon still list them on their websites.
